Cowon EM1 in-Ear Earphones with Remote Control/Microphone

These are pretty simple and plain looking In-ear head phones. I picked these up on a whim. Not really expecting much out of them . What I found was that these ear phones actually sounded a lot better than some of my higher priced head phones. These are not the mighty low $$ head phones the will slay the mighty $ 80-150 head phone but ...These easily can go head to head with some of the higher priced in-ear phones that run up to 60$ price range like: V-MODA Metal , Klipsch Image S3 & S4 , Monster 133262 ,Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4 & Logitech Ultimate Ears 350vi.The cabling is done really well. It's a thick flat rubberized plastic that does not tangle much and can take some abuse. I've dropped my Cowon D2 about a dozen times while holding onto just the ear pieces to see if the wiring would come loose and everything staying intact. I can not say that for any of the Ultimate Ears.I'm currently using the headphones with a Nokia 920 , Samsung s3 & SGH-1917 phones , Cowon D2 & z2. The mic / play pause button does not work with the Cowon devices and does not work on Windows 7.5 or 8 phones.So the upsides to the EM1 are their price + performance / sound .the negatives for them are the pause / play button and mic do not work with Cowon & Windows OS phones.One tip I can give for any buyers out there who pick the Cowon EM1s up is to remove the ear pieces and then remove the black cloth / film that is covering the EM1's speaker area... this will get rid of the slight muffle sound you experience when you crank up the volume this will also increase the volume a bit too.

This is my first in-ear-canal earphone. The sound quality is really good.I also have Bose IE2 and I can comfortably say that Cowon made a good job here.But I had a little problem. When I listen something at low sound levels while walking or exercising, I here the sound of the cord, its friction, and it is really annoying. As I said, this is my first time with an "in-ear-canal earphone" and I don't know if this is normal. But it is really annoying.

The best pair of earphones at the prize range and ever higher!! These are second pair(misplaced the first one). Been using them since a year and they never disappointed. The mid range is a little overpowering but the lows and highs are perfect. The bass is very balanced and doesn't overpower the music. The noise cancellation is very good too!! The cable is the best in these, it's a flat wire and doesn't get tangled even after placing them in the pocket! The mic is very responsive and clear during calls. For this prize don't think much. Just go for it!!

Some of the best headphones for the price. Mid range is a little over powering which can lead to the quality of sound being distorted at times, but for the cheap price its expected. Also really love the flat style of the chord, really prevents the chord from tangling. Would buy again when looking for a pair around $25.

These cowon earphones are definitely not worth the price. They are very cheaply made and the sound is just alright. I've got Panasonic earphones that were less than $8 and are many many times better than these. I suppose the only good thing about these is the cord doesn't tangle.

Bought in 2016Used for a year.Really good headest for the price. I am no audiophile so I can't really dissect the quality of each sound. Then again at the price range you shouldn't be. Performs well overall and the wires hold up very well under rough use. If you are someone like me who is careless enough to use it everywhere, go ahead and buy these.

Very Good For The Money Better Sound Quality Then My Beats Bugs Go Head Cowon and Just 20 D you cant ask For More

It said there is a mic, but there is no mic in the earbuds
